Hi everyone, Alex here! Just letting you know that we've read the many comments from you telling us you're not happy with the price that was negotiated for the Mira. Taylor has spoken to previous owner Lewis and we've renegotiated back up to £1500. 

While we love getting a good deal on a car, we now know that the Mira deal was simply too good, and we're sorry you feel we took advantage! On face value, the car needs a full respray, brakes, tyres, suspension, bushes etc but we did not know about the diff, nor the incredible condition of the underside, which makes this car even more special!

To everyone watching and who supports the channel (especially Lewis), we're sorry you feel let down. We love buying, making videos and going on adventures, but we do occasionally make mistakes / misjudge situations, which is always brought to our attention. 

So thanks everyone for helping us be better!

Cheers guys,

Alex

You did Louis dirty by reducing the price even more after you agreed to 1500. Once a car salesman, always a car salesman.

EDIT: Good on the guys for rectifying the situation. I'm not the deal police and I would still love it if you tried to get the lowest possible price, just in some cases maybe haggle as much as you can but then pay a fair-ish price to the seller if the situation calls for it. Looking forward to the kei car roadtrip 👍.

As mentioned by a few others £1500 was already a bargain it would cost nearly that to get it imported do the right thing lads and give the guy the difference he obviously wanted to help you guys out and offered it to you for a good price all the good work you guys do I got every faith you will put this right

[CaptnDeadpool]

Taylor really took the piss haggling him down further. That car's worth 1500 all day, every day.

[MrManBuzz]

You robbed that poor chap getting this for £1100.

I think Taylor should keep that as he found it, negotiated it, collected it and is clearly super excited by it. Alex should keep looking and get a pick up for the 3 way tour.

For a turbo Kei car with no rust, I hope you go back and give Lewis at least £400 extra for it. Even at £2k it was a steal!

Fan from Japan here. So excited to see the 軽(Kanji meaning light, which symbolizes the Kei-car.) on your channel. Seems like you got the earlier iteration of the 4th gen of Mira, which was the last gen you could get one of these TR-XXs. Those patterns you see on the floormats and seats were all the rage back then.
Also, these were designed in the era when manufacturers actually had a lot of money, so that explains how well-built it is. In fact, some of these albeit in small numbers still roam around the countryside.
The piece of paper with the old man was a free ticket to take a course to learn how to use a PC, which is a cottage industry of sort. (The old man shows an example of someone struggling with the PC. )Its likely that the dealer man threw it in as part of the premium service deal.
I seldom comment on videos so sorry for the long comment, but I genuinely enjoy your content! Best of luck to you all

Sounds like you fleeced the poor lad 😮 why not just pay the 1500.

[TheSpectre]

Great little car and excited to see more videos on it, but fucking hell Taylor you fleeced that poor lad. Even for you that's out of order, for a turn-key car with such a clean underbody the agreed-upon £1500 was far more than fair.

[squidstar]

Come on lads don't fleece the poor guy, either give him the £400 or give him the car back once it's restored!

[HAunderscoreVE]

Awww, i hoped to see the actual lunch segment, like the kebab run in the old days

[michaelsummerell]

Not cool guys. I'd say the young lad selling the car probably needed the £400 difference more than you do. You should pay him the price you agreed.

[schwuzi]

Very nice car. But the price stumped me a bit when you talked about it. Reading the other comments the sentiment seems to be the same across the board.

1500 was a really good price, hell even at 2k it would have been a steal for that condition.

I'd really try to make things right with the seller. However that may be is up to you guys.

[rob_beaumont]

Comments aren't happy! Resto the Mira and give it back to the lad!

[lukeyj]

Boys come on, it was cheap anyway. If any item is worth what it’s advertised for just pay the man you will get a bad rep boys this isn’t bargain hunt 🤦‍♂️

[weirface]

Love you guys and love your cheekiness when trying to negotiate a bargain, but unfortunately have to agree with consensus on this one, £1, 100 is a bit of a low blow, especially as the lad had to give it up due to a “change of circumstances” and clearly loved it enough to get it shipped from Japan in the first place. Please listen to your fans on this one and do the decent thing ❤️

[sumuknow]

I usually love these guys, the videos are really fun but they truely robbed that guy. What a bargain to get it for 1500 but haggling 400 more off the price is crazy and disrespectful, especially because its a subscriber… they should pay him back the £400 or give the guy the car back with fresh paint and looking nice, that would be an awesome thing to see.

[byrne]

I feel they're exploiting there fan base a bit. £2000 for that is a bargain. It's not like you cant afford that

[darrylredmill]

Yeah, sorry guys. That was a bit mean. You should have stuck to the £1500.
